[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by trainchris I used e-bay to sell my truck,sold fast and for the money i wanted.BUT PAY PAL RIPPED ME OFF SOMETHING BAD!! The buyer paid $1000.00 with a credit card into my pay pal account and the rest in cash when picked up truck. One week after the sale pay pal removed the $1000.00 out of my account and gave me no reason for it. I have been trying to get back my money from them for the last three years now. Still do not know the reason the $$ was taken out. DO NOT USE PAY PAL THEY'RE NO GOOD!!!![}:)][V][:(!] I now list all my things as money order only! I know this is rare but I have heard alot of bad things about them. I just do not trust them with my money now. [/quote] Hi, Sorry to hear of that. I would say this is only partially paypal's fault as the way the payment was structured, it is very likely that the buyer was out to defraud. One way they can do it is to report a non-receipt of item and if there is nothing you have to show delivery (as it was an arranged pick-up), Paypal reverses the funds. I have been using paypal and ebay for 2++ years now. Whenever I sell a train costing 100++ and the seller deliberately not-ask for insurance, I'll pay another US$2 out of my own pocket for registered airmail. Of course the buyer doesn't know and true enough some of these guys complain of non-receipt of item. All I had to do was to email a scan of the receipt and I never heard from them again. If it was a genuine case of lost items, I'm sure they'll ask if I can trace it with the postal service :-) Regards.
